Theodor-Brinkmann-Graduate School

Join us on our way!

The Theodor-Brinkman-Gaduate School at the Agricultural Faculty was
established in 2008 and the study program was initiated in winter term
2008/09.

Our Goals

The Graduate School combines the research at the
agricultural faculty with an interdisciplinary study program. For our
research fields in agricultural, nutritional and food sciences as well
as in geodesy and geoinformation we need encouraged and creative young
scientists, who also have the courage to follow complex research
approaches to come up with innovative ideas to solve the tasks and
problems.

The Graduate School will have a leading role in
bringing together the best PhD students in our fields of research and
support young scientists on their way into a scientific career. The
education will take place in an international and lifely scientific
community.

Research

The Graduate School is encouraging
interdisciplinray and international research with the aim to
investigate and analyse complex reasons and impacts of regional and
global changes in different research areas. The Graduate School is
mainly focussing on the main research of the faculty which is comprised
in two areas (1) Agro Systems Sensing Analysis and Management and (2)
Food and nutrition. These two areas are part of the faculty's
interdisciplinray research focal point "From Molecules to function:
crop - lifestock - human".

Individual Promotion

The major goal of the Graduate School is the
individual promotion of each student within the school to support the
students on their way into a scientific career. Every student will be
supervised by at least two principle scientists of the graduate school.
Together with the student they will plan the individual cours program.
Research visits abroad are highly encouraged as well as participation
on national / International congresses and courses at our partner
institutions. The individual study program is based on the specific
needs within the research areas of the students.
